LIQUID-FUEL BURNER.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented June 22, 1920.

Application filed October 1, 1919. Serial No. 327,776.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JOSEPH C. LOCKHART, citizen of the United States,residing at Wellington, in the county of Sumner and State of Kansas,have invented certain new Y and useful Improvements in Liquid-FuelBurners; and I do hereby declare the follow;

ing to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such aswill enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make anduse the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and tothe letters and figures of reference marked thereon, which form a partof this specification.

This invention relates to new and useful improvements in liquid fuelburners, and comprises a simple and efiicientdevice of this nature soconstructed as to enable crude or other oils to be heated to the pointof vaporization before being ignited.

The invention comprises a simple and eflicient device of this naturehaving various details of construction, combination and arrangement ofparts which will be hereinafter fully described, shown in theaccompanying drawings and then specifically defined in the appendedclaim.

My invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings which, withthenumerals of reference marked thereon, form a part of this application,and in which:

Figure 1 is a view in elevation, parts in section, and i Fig. 2 is a topplan view.

Reference now being had to the details of I the drawings by numerals:

1 designates a generator pan and 2 a vertically disposed generator pipeleading through said pan and to the lower end of which a tube 3 isconnected, and through which oil may be conveyed to the generator pipefrom the tank 4', said tube having a suitable valve 5 therein forregulating the supply of oil. Said generator pipe has a T 6 connected toits upper end, and 7 and 8 designate laterall extending pipes leading inopposite directions from the T, and upon the horizontally disposedportion of each pipe 7 and 8 is mounted a flash plate 9 directly overthe jet endlO of the pipe 8.

A hollow imperforate tube 11 is mounted inside the generator pipe andconstitutes an extension of the pipe 3 and terminates at the tip, or jetend, 10, by which construction the oil is vaporized and. a clean, clearblaze is produced at the flash plates.

In operation, oil is poured into the generator pan and ignited for theinitial vaporizing of the oil as it issues from the burner jets, afterwhich the oil will be sufliciently heated from the heat generated fromthe burners to cause the same to be thoroughly vaporized as it burnsagainst the flash plates.

What I claim to be new is: An oil burner comprising a generator pan, agenerator pipe passing through said pan and having branching pipesextending in opposite horizontal directions above said JOSEPH o.LOCKHART.
